IDUG EMEA 2024

The ability to explore, analyze, and visualize data is becoming a hot topic. As DevOps is adapted by the mainframe community the developers show an increasing interest in the Ops side, i.e., being able to monitor and view the health of an application. While showing data in 3270 is not bad there are many advantages of using modern tooling to visualize data. 
In the first half of the presentation, we will give a high level introduction to modern open source visualization tools like Kibana and Grafana. 
In the second half of the presentation we will explore several use cases of interest to Db2 for z/OS DBAs and application owners and developers, such as viewing Db2 real time statistics, Db2 utility history and Db2 performance metrics. Ultimately this allows you to build dashboards tailored to individual applications.
